Valentine's Day Stuff

So, today was/is Valentine's Day! We don't go crazy overboard around here for the holiday. We made each other cards and Chris and Bailey brought me lunch (Qdoba - it was buy one get one free if you smooched someone in line, so unfortunately for Chris, he had to kiss Bailey - I know, the things he does for me!) I showed off brought Bailey around the office for every one to see her and meet Chris. I'm sure they are so tired of me bringing her there, but lucky for them I don't really care ;)

Here are some pics from today and from our little Valentine's Day photo shoot last Friday

she is getting so wiggly, always kicking and moving those little arms

Look at me, here I am!

Kisses everywhere!

Ok mom, I'm ready to be done with this!

Proof that she cries, nobody seems to believe us that she does

Just chillin'

Daddy, Bailey and Sophie for a visit at work

The best card I've ever gotten, pretty sweet guy I've got here :)

Kirby really loves her!

I hope you had a great Valentine's Day and celebrated as much (or little) as you wanted to!

Here are some pics that I've taken recently. I've been meaning to post them, but just haven't gotten around to it yet...weird! We were having some family time on the patio last week and letting the monkeys roam free in the backyard

Always looking so innocent

Our 2 crazy little monkeys

Kirby is constantly caught with his tongue hanging out. It cracks us up every.time! I don't even want to admit how many pictures Chris and I have of this little stinker with his tongue out.

Oscar and daddy dancing

Probably one of my favorite pics on our camera right now. We had baby robins under our deck and the mama bird (Oscar's substitute mama) had just brought food to the babies. I missed the worm in her mouth, but it's still a great pic!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and Father's Day! We sure did!

Woops!

So blogging has kind of been towards the bottom of my to-do list. (Almost) each day I read other blogs I follow and think, I should really post something, But then I don't. I'm usually at work when I think I should post something, but I can't post at work and when I get home I'm either working around the house or just don't feel like posting :


Here are some pictures on my phone that have been cracking me up. Not sure what we would do without these 2 little guys!


I came into our bedroom the other week and Kirby was just staring out the window. I'm not even sure he can see much out the window since he's kind of little, but he was intrigued by something that was going on out there. This went on for a few minutes...

Chris and I always joke about how funny Kirby looks when he sits. It's pretty comical

 Poor little Oscar had to make an unplanned visit to the vet last weekend. He had a little relapse of his stomach issues return (he had been on medication since December). We are crappy forgetful parents and kind of forgot to give him his medicine for a few weeks and I guess this is what happens...

Relaxing on 2 pillows after a long day at the vet clinic

 Kirby's new thing is to lay on the pillow on the bed. He's done this in the past, but for some reason last weekend he could not get enough of the pillows. He did this on our bed and in the guest bedroom. Maybe he was achy and the pillows helped?

 Part of Oscar's new treatment plan is new food. Apparently the new food is really good. He has been constantly guarding his food ball (he rolls the ball around to get his food out) so Kirby (and sometimes mom & dad) can't get it.

 There were a few nice evenings last week. I plopped down on the front lawn and soaked up some sun with my little guys. It felt great! I'm soooo ready for the nice warm weather to stay!

Oscar wouldn't look at me. He's a little camera shy

 Last week a manager brought in some cupcakes since she is leaving the company. She brought a couple dozen cupcakes from Cupcake I have been obsessed ever since. I've tasted quite a variety of them in the past few days and I've narrowed down a couple for my favorites (the s'more and the amaretto). I think they're pretty to look at. They're a little pricey, but for a special occasion I think they're fun!


Chocolate covered cherry cupcake I got from work, it was a little dry but the flavor was yummy!

This weekend we spent Saturday at the vet again for Oscar's check-up (everything looks good!), crossing a few projects around the house off our list and Chris worked that night while I met up with my mom to grab some grub and head over to Cupcake to pick up some treats for Sunday.


Sunday morning I woke with ambition to complete some craft projects I have going. I spent about 3 hours in the morning installing a program on our computer to do a project and then completing my project on the computer only to find out the device that hooks up to the computer couldn't be recognized. We went and met Chris's family to celebrate his mom's bf's birthday. We dined on some delicious food and then we all got to sample some of the cupcakes I got. It was fun to see everyone! When I got home, back to the computer I went to solve the mystery. At about 5, I had downloaded some stuff to recognize my device. I got everything to work, I was so excited! I went to apply the the thing I was working on and it really didn't work out very well. Needless to say, I spent about 6 hours on something I ended up throwing away. It was pretty frustrating. At least I tried....Now I'm just finishing up some laundry, paying bills and trying to clean up the mess I made in our office.

Hope you had a good weekend!

Weekend Recovery

On Friday, I worked a half day and then stopped by Target on my way home to pick up the necessities for recovering from my wisdom teeth removal.

Your standard items: Mac & Cheese, pudding, ice cream, soup, instant potatoes, yogurt (for smoothies), bananas and notice the one item in the middle...the crack gelato imported from Italy. I have eyed that stuff over in the freezer section for a while, but it's $4.99 for the container. I figured, how often do I get my wisdom teeth removed...I can splurge. So.freakin.good! It's creamy and delicious. I got the dulce de leche flavor . It's gone. I polished it off tonight. Chris had a spoonful or two. I ate the rest. I don't feel bad. It felt AMAZING on my sore gums and it tasted pretty dang good, too!

Moving on...After getting the above supplies, I had to go get some lunch. Something that would be satisfying since I won't be eating my faves for a few weeks. I didn't want to over eat since I would be going to the dentist and also nothing too garlic-y or onion-y. This is what I ended up with. I was definitely happy! It made me feel like I was back home since we have 3 Taco John's in the small town I'm from and was pretty much eaten once/week growing up. I had1 taco and potato oles. Perfect amount of food.

During my surgery, I got laughing gas and I swear there was a rock concert in my operating room. I was in my own little world. Chris thought it was pretty funny when I told him my random thoughts during the procedure. I was shaking when I left the office. I don't really know why, but I wasn't a fan of that feeling. Chris brought me home and we watched a couple of shows before he headed to work for the night. I wasn't really in any pain, just groggy. I watched some shows I had on the DVR for the next few hours until Chris got home. I went to bed early



 Saturday:
I woke up late, felt fine, just groggy still. We went for a walk with the pups in the morning, did a little bit of yard work (I raked some leaves and he moved some rock). He had plans to play golf with some friends that afternoon so he left to go golfing and was gone until about 6. I went shopping, cleaned our house and just bummed around. Chris came home, we watched some TV shows that night and just relaxed. I went to bed pretty early again.

I picked this up for Kirby on Saturday. They're puppy pj's. So cute and he doesn't even mind having them on.

The pj's provided a lot of entertainment for Chris and I over the weekend. Plus, they're fitting - he is the "bad" dog out of the two

Sunday:
I woke up late, still feeling fine and started cleaning the house -again! I got confirmation from my mom that I will be hosting Thanksgiving this year for my family (parents, brother and his family and us) so I have started to do some of the deep cleaning now.

We went in the backyard and laid out some plans for the garden and fire pit area we want back there. Still a work in progress, but I'm happy to hear that I can have a veggie garden next year. Now I need to figure out what I want in it. I spent the rest of the day cleaning and went on an interesting shopping trip. More details later...

Working on a craft project Sunday night. Kirby is my "helper" I told Chris we should see if Santa is hiring!

Overall a great weekend! I hardly feel any discomfort at all with my teeth extraction. Just restricted on what I can eat, which is a bummer at times but overall a lot better than what some people go through.

Hope you have a great week! I'm excited to volunteer at a local charity for work tomorrow - should be a fun day!

Disclaimer: I often post pictures of my dog Kirby, but not many of Oscar. I (we) do not like one of our dogs more than the other. Oscar does not like his picture taken. As soon as I point the camera at him, he turns his face the other direction or buries his face in a blanket or pillow. Kirby looks directly at the camera - even if there is evidence (toilet paper/leaves/grass/ANYTHING) of something on his face. So that is why Kirby gets a lot of blog love around here. 

Tail Wagging Tuesday

I'm linking up to Tail Wagging Tuesday found here Check out her blog, super cute and her dog is adorable!

 

Today's topic is to Share with us the most funniest picture of your fur child (children)

Here are a few:

Kirby and my hubby cheering on the Vikes (LOVE this pic)

My SIL, Whitney, got a new bag for Christmas and Kirby fit right inside LOL

(when Chris proposed to me, he got Kirby as part of my engagement gift and Kirby arrived to me in a gift bag. This pic reminds me of that sweet, sweet moment)

Oscar is Mr Independent! He likes to snuggle on pillows and blankets - by himself. 

We think he's going through his teenage years

Oscar is a lover of EVERYTHING (babies, animals, people). His new thing this summer is to kiss the fish we catch at the lake

This is from last Halloween. Oscar the Monkey and Kirby the Banana...hahaha, we're so mean to our "kids"

Share some pics of your fur babies and link up. 

Happy Tuesday!
